Do I have to go to work this week?

For the last month I have been tracking testing and documenting a problem with sending electronic statements. At some point during the process a security file is being corrupted and causing fatal exception errors. Running a recovery utility on the file corrects the problem until statements are generated again. What is frustrating to me is the fact that only 5 offices are experiencing this. I have tested the data in XP SP1-3, Vista, Server 2003, using pervasive versions 7.9, 8.6, 9.5, and 10.10. So far the error can not be recreated in house. QA now has me running PC audits on every computer at each of the 5 offices. Personally I think it makes more sense to only run on the server and any computer that is used to send statements. One thing I have done is set up a test database at one office to force the statement run over and over until the error occurs. (did I mention the errors do not happen with every statement run) All I can do now is present everything I have gathered to QA and let them deal with it. Once it is off my plate I will be so relieved.
If I can make it to Friday I will be having a girls lunch with some old friends that I have not seen in years. I can't wait to catch up.

Sleep? Random and unorganized thoughts

I should be sleeping.

Instant karma isn't gonna get me, but instant migraines are. Four of the last five days have involved migraines.

At walgreens tonight getting some lip balm, at the check out line there were three kids in front of me. They had several items of candy each and asked the cashier to not bag them because the plastic bags are bad for the environment. I get to the check out and offer to take the bag they didn't want because it is great for cat box cleaning. When I walk out into the parking lot, these environmentally friendly kids are hopping into a non hybrid Chevy Tahoe.

My dreams lately have been stranger than normal. I wish I knew why people from my past keep showing up and why the interactions with them are so bizarre.

I am hoping tomorrow the QA team will finally accept that I have gathered every piece of information possible about an error in sending e-statements.

Nuno wrote his name on the back lawn with round up grass and weed killer. He is now on lawn restriction. He also wrote all the dogs names on the lawn too.

I am on a boat.

Now I think I will go to sleep and see who is gonna be there tonight.
